Why hasn't my pothole been fixed yet?

in

Some potholes are fixed within a day or two, where the council team can find the hazard quickly and the weather is good enough for a fix. Others can take longer.

Wet or cold weather can prevent a long-lasting fix, so the highway maintenance team may fill the hole as a temporary measure. They will then return when the weather has improved to effect a more permanent and high-quality fix.

Some potholes are never fixed, because the road foundations aren’t strong enough, and completely re-building the road isn’t possible.
